Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk Rivers of Babylon Rivers of Babylon (Brent Dowe & Trevor McNaughton) (1:) By the rivers of Babylon, where he sat down, and there he wept when he remembered Zion. Oh, the wicked carry us away captivity, require from us a song, How can we sing King Alpha's song in a strange land? (1) (2:) So, let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart be acceptable in Thy sight. Oh, verai!

The words have a few curious variations from the ones posted above, so I will enter them yet again. The original version was by a reggae group called the Melodians. The sound track CD for "The Harder They Come" produced by Jimmy Cliff actually contains the Melodians version. My favorite recording of the song is by Sweet Honey In The Rock.

By the Rivers of Babylon
Salvaging Exile Why did Christ heal the sick and suffering if he didn’t consider such external conditions important? Why is the kingdom of God equated with the deaf hear, the blind see? . And where do we get the incredible presumption to spiritualize these things that Christ saw and did very concretely? We must end this audacious, sanctimonious spiritualization of the gospel. Take it as it is, or hate it honestly! –Dietrich Bonhoeffer1 Exile, as we often hear it in the church, refers to a “spiritual” experience, our sense of being “strangers in a strange land” but not strangers in a strange actually land. In this book, I argue the theological language of exile is inescapably bound up with the fleshy language of being an exile. Theologically, exile is flesh it and is spirit. Exile, indeed, may signify a disruptive paradigm shift, or a felt anxiety, or the modern sense of “homelessness,” the idea that, as George Steiner puts it, we are “monads haunted by communion.”2 While not denying the power of those understandings, when exile comes to signify such broad and diffuse notions of experience, it can happen that we lose sight of the actual exile. Exile may refer to more than the exile of the body, but we must always remember that it will never be less than the exile of the body: the body deported, the body put into shackles, the body bruised, the body profiled, the body tortured, the body crucified. This book takes the body, the flesh experience of exile, seriously, which is to say, this book takes it theologically.

Scenes from the Old Testament Daniel in Babylon 24 January 2016 Christopher Rowland
Scenes from the Old Testament Daniel in Babylon 24 January 2016 Christopher Rowland Daniel 1: 1–20 1 Corinthians 1: 20 – 2: 5 Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606–69), Belshazzar’s Feast (c. 1638), National Gallery, London1 Throughout its history the Book of Daniel has been a happy hunting ground for those who would construct a map of the future of the world, but it is less these visions about the finitude of world empires and more the narrative context, which is my particular concern this evening. The stories tell of educated young men suddenly being transported from life in their home city, Jerusalem, to the strange, opulent, world of the court of the king of Babylon, and finding themselves at odds with the surrounding culture. Throughout the Bible, from the stories of the Exile to Babylon through to the dramatic vision of Babylon seated on the many-headed beast in the Book of Revelation, Babylon has represented being confronted by another set of values, cultural and political dislocation, and the necessity of negotiating a way of existing in that situation. It is the kind of disorientation with which a subaltern people has to learn to come to terms, as they find a way of coping and surviving, assuming, that is, that they do not accommodate themselves completely to their oppressors’ culture. Life in ‘Babylon’ was not easy. It is evoked in the opening verses of Psalm 137, an experience with which many have resonated down the ages: By the rivers of Babylon there we sat down and there we wept when we remembered Zion.

Make Me an of Thy Peace Lord, Make Me an Instrument of Thy Peace
Bethel University presents 2021 Spring Music Festival (Virtual) Lord, InstrumentMake Me an of Thy Peace Lord, Make Me an Instrument of Thy Peace Prayer of the Children . Royal Register Kurt Bestor; Arranged by Andrea S. Klouse Can you hear the prayer of the children On bended knee, in the shadow of an unknown room? Empty eyes with no more tears to cry Turning heavenward toward the light. Cryin’, “Jesus, help me to see the mornin’ light of one more day, But if I should die before I wake, I pray my soul to take.” Can you feel the hearts of the children Aching for home, for something of their very own. Reaching hands with nothing to hold onto But hope for a better day, a better day. Cryin’, “Jesus, help me to feel the love again in my own land, But if unknown roads lead away from home, give me loving arms, ‘way from harm.” Can you hear the voice of the children Softly pleading for silence in their shattered world? Angry guns preach a gospel full of hate, Blood of the innocent on their hands. Cryin’, “Jesus, help me to feel the sun again upon my face,” For when darkness clears, I know You’re near, bringing peace again.” Da li čujete sve dječje molitve? [Can you hear the prayer of the children?] Can you hear the prayer of the children? Alleluia! Laudamus Te . Wind Symphony and Organ Alfred Reed By the Rivers of Babylon . Lucia Chorum, Piano, and Percussion Susan Brumfield Amen…. By the rivers of Babylon, where he sat down, And there he wept, as he remembered Zion.

Seoul / Daebudo / Vienna, August 13, 2010 TIME LIFE announces the release of the TORTURE CLASSICS COLLECTION. Torture Music is the kind of music that’s perfect for sitting in the Afghan or Iraqi Desert, sharing a prisoner for a night, or relaxing in a military barack or a CIA black site in some godforsaken country on a lazy afternoon.

But, the artists included in the TORTURE CLASSICS COLLECTION have taken the Torture Music sound and given it a psychotic and everlasting quality. This Torture Music compilation includes 60 songs, tons of images, uncensored videos, pdfs and extra bonus material. The Ultiimate Collection DOWNLOAD-DVD inlcudes both The White Site Album and The Black Site Album. To kick-off of the release of the TORTURE CLASSICS ULTIMATE COLLECTION DOWNLOAD-DVD, a 24h TORTURE-GALA-PERFORMANCE will take place. The headling act of the evening will be James Powderly, who will be subjected to Musical Torture, in the experienced hands of Hans Bernhard, who will blast the new hit track “Two Different Tears” by the original K-pop Idols the Wondergirls. He will be tightened into stress- positions to prevent him from muting the sound.

The Funky Diaspora
The Funky Diaspora: The Diffusion of Soul and Funk Music across The Caribbean and Latin America Thomas Fawcett XXVII Annual ILLASA Student Conference Feb. 1-3, 2007 Introduction In 1972, a British band made up of nine West Indian immigrants recorded a funk song infused with Caribbean percussion called “The Message.” The band was Cymande, whose members were born in Jamaica, Guyana, and St. Vincent before moving to England between 1958 and 1970.1 In 1973, a year after Cymande recorded “The Message,” the song was reworked by a Panamanian funk band called Los Fabulosos Festivales. The Festivales titled their fuzzed-out, guitar-heavy version “El Mensaje.” A year later the song was covered again, this time slowed down to a crawl and set to a reggae beat and performed by Jamaican singer Tinga Stewart. This example places soul and funk music in a global context and shows that songs were remade, reworked and reinvented across the African diaspora. It also raises issues of migration, language and the power of music to connect distinct communities of the African diaspora. Soul and funk music of the 1960s and 1970s is widely seen as belonging strictly in a U.S. context. This paper will argue that soul and funk music was actually a transnational and multilingual phenomenon that disseminated across Latin America, the Caribbean and beyond. Soul and funk was copied and reinvented in a wide array of Latin American and Caribbean countries including Brazil, Panama, Jamaica, Belize, Peru and the Bahamas. This paper will focus on the music of the U.S., Brazil, Panama and Jamaica while highlighting the political consciousness of soul and funk music.
